Analytics of MX and NDMA, two disinfection byproducts, in water

MX (3-Chloro-4-(Dichloromethyl)-5-Hydroxy-2(5H)-Furanone) and NDMA (N,N-dimethyl-Nnitrosoamine)
are disinfection by-products, which are formed during NOM’s and other water
containing precursors reaction with chlorine. Both, due to their potential carcinogenic and
mutagenic properties were placed on the list of potentially health hazardous disinfection byproducts.
Both of the compounds occur in drinking water at the ppt level.
An extensive review of international literature was the background of the presentation of
state of the art concerns on MX and NDMA analysis.
